William C. nedfleld. secre

his resignation to president Wil

fective November 1. Thla was an
nounced today officially.
Secretary Redfleld became a mem

March 4, 1913. He was a member of

from the fifth New York district Mr.
Redfleld is 61 lears of age. He was
born in Albany. N. T.
Secretary Redfleld. In announcing
his resignation, said he found It nec
essary to give immediate attention to
personal business affairs, adding that
he was anxious to return to private
life after spending more than eight
years in Washington.
The secretary said he wrote presi
dent Wilson on August 1, asking him
to accept his resignation as of Octo
ber IS. When he found the president
was to be busy on bis speaking tour
during September, however, he agreed
to remain until the last of October.
Resignation Not a Surprise.
Announcement of Mr. Redfleld's
resignation did not come as a sur
prise. Since his disagreement with
director general of railroads Hlnes
regarding prices for steel several
months ago, it had been a most com
mon gossip that he contemplated early
retirement from the president's cab
inet President Wilson was in Europe
when Mr. Redfleld. with the approval
of the executive, set up a board to
agree upon fair prices for necessities
with a view to stimulating produc
tion. Mr. Hlnes refused to accept the
pri e for steel agreed upon between
the board and the Industry, contend
ing that it was too high.
